1 And word came to me from the Lord: 2 Son of man, do thou thyself sing the dirge over Tyre. 3 A message from the Lord God to the city that is built by the sea’s gates, and trafficks with many peoples on many shores! Thine was the boast of perfect beauty, 4 the embosoming sea thy frontier. A well-fitted ship thou wert, such as they build on yonder coast; 5 of fir-wood from Sanir thy outer planks, of Lebanon cedar thy mast, 6 oars shaped from Basan oak, thy thwarts of box-wood[1] from the western islands, with marquetry of Indian ivory. 7 Of broidered linen from Egypt the sails they spread for thee, awning of blue and purple from the Grecian isles gave thee shade.

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: 2 Tu ergo, fili hominis, assume super Tyrum lamentum: 3 et dices Tyro, quæ habitat in introitu maris, negotiationi populorum ad insulas multas:

Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
O Tyre, tu dixisti: Perfecti decoris ego sum, 4
et in corde maris sita.
Finitimi tui qui te ædificaverunt, impleverunt decorem tuum: 5
abietibus de Sanir exstruxerunt te cum omnibus tabulatis maris:
cedrum de Libano tulerunt ut facerent tibi malum. 6
Quercus de Basan dolaverunt in remos tuos,
et transtra tua fecerunt tibi ex ebore indico,
et prætoriola de insulis Italiæ. 7
Byssus varia de Ægypto texta est tibi in velum
ut poneretur in malo:
hyacinthus et purpura de insulis Elisa
facta sunt operimentum tuum.

8 καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντές σου οἱ κατοικοῦντες Σιδῶνα καὶ Αράδιοι ἐγένοντο κωπηλάται σου οἱ σοφοί σου Σορ οἳ ἦσαν ἐν σοί οὗτοι κυβερνῆταί σου 9 οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Βυβλίων καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ αὐτῶν ἦσαν ἐν σοί οὗτοι ἐνίσχυον τὴν βουλήν σου καὶ πάντα τὰ πλοῖα τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ οἱ κωπηλάται αὐτῶν ἐγένοντό σοι ἐπὶ δυσμὰς δυσμῶν 10 Πέρσαι καὶ Λυδοὶ καὶ Λίβυες ἦσαν ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου ἄνδρες πολεμισταί σου πέλτας καὶ περικεφαλαίας ἐκρέμασαν ἐν σοί οὗτοι ἔδωκαν τὴν δόξαν σου 11 υἱοὶ Αραδίων καὶ ἡ δύναμίς σου ἐπὶ τῶν τειχέων σου φύλακες ἐν τοῖς πύργοις σου ἦσαν τὰς φαρέτρας αὐτῶν ἐκρέμασαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὅρμων σου κύκλῳ οὗτοι ἐτελείωσάν σου τὸ κάλλος

8 For thee, men of Sidon and of Arad manned the oar; thyself, Tyre, gavest men of skill, thy own citizens, to be helmsmen. 9 For thy dockyards,[2] all the grey-haired wisdom of Gebal was at thy command, and for trafficking, never was ship or sailor in the world but visited thee. 10 Warriors from Persia, from Lydia, from Africa, fought thy battles, with shield and helmet decked thy walls; 11 men of Arvad ringed the battlements, thy defenders, and the Gammadim,[3] too, were mounted on thy towers, on thy walls hung their quivers; lacked nothing for thy adornment.

8
Habitatores Sidonis et Aradii fuerunt remiges tui:
sapientes tui, Tyre, facti sunt gubernatores tui. 9
Senes Giblii et prudentes ejus
habuerunt nautas ad ministerium variæ supellectilis tuæ:
omnes naves maris, et nautæ earum,
fuerunt in populo negotiationis tuæ. 10
Persæ, et Lydii, et Libyes erant in exercitu tuo
viri bellatores tui:
clypeum et galeam suspenderunt in te pro ornatu tuo. 11
Filii Aradii cum exercitu tuo erant super muros tuos in circuitu:
sed et Pigmæi qui erant in turribus tuis,
pharetras suas suspenderunt in muris tuis per gyrum:
ipsi compleverunt pulchritudinem tuam.

12 Καρχηδόνιοι ἔμποροί σου ἀπὸ πλήθους πάσης ἰσχύος σου ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σίδηρον καὶ κασσίτερον καὶ μόλυβον ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου 13 ἡ Ἑλλὰς καὶ ἡ σύμπασα καὶ τὰ παρατείνοντα οὗτοι ἐνεπορεύοντό σοι ἐν ψυχαῖς ἀνθρώπων καὶ σκεύη χαλκᾶ ἔδωκαν τὴν ἐμπορίαν σου 14 ἐξ οἴκου Θεργαμα ἵππους καὶ ἱππεῖς ἔδωκαν ἀγοράν σου 15 υἱοὶ Ῥοδίων ἔμποροί σου ἀπὸ νήσων ἐπλήθυναν τὴν ἐμπορίαν σου ὀδόντας ἐλεφαντίνους καὶ τοῖς εἰσαγομένοις ἀντεδίδους τοὺς μισθούς σου 16 ἀνθρώπους ἐμπορίαν σου ἀπὸ πλήθους τοῦ συμμίκτου σου στακτὴν καὶ ποικίλματα ἐκ Θαρσις καὶ Ραμωθ καὶ Χορχορ ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου 17 Ιουδας καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ισραηλ οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου ἐν σίτου πράσει καὶ μύρων καὶ κασίας καὶ πρῶτον μέλι καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ ῥητίνην ἔδωκαν εἰς τὸν σύμμικτόν σου 18 Δαμασκὸς ἔμπορός σου ἐκ πλήθους πάσης δυνάμεώς σου οἶνος ἐκ Χελβων καὶ ἔρια ἐκ Μιλήτου 19 καὶ οἶνον εἰς τὴν ἀγοράν σου ἔδωκαν ἐξ Ασηλ σίδηρος εἰργασμένος καὶ τροχὸς ἐν τῷ συμμίκτῳ σού ἐστιν 20 Δαιδαν ἔμποροί σου μετὰ κτηνῶν ἐκλεκτῶν εἰς ἅρματα 21 ἡ Ἀραβία καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Κηδαρ οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου διὰ χειρός σου καμήλους καὶ κριοὺς καὶ ἀμνοὺς ἐν οἷς ἐμπορεύονταί σε 22 ἔμποροι Σαβα καὶ Ραγμα οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου μετὰ πρώτων ἡδυσμάτων καὶ λίθων χρηστῶν καὶ χρυσίον ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου 23 Χαρραν καὶ Χαννα οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου Ασσουρ καὶ Χαρμαν ἔμποροί σου 24 φέροντες ἐμπορίαν ὑάκινθον καὶ θησαυροὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς δεδεμένους σχοινίοις καὶ κυπαρίσσινα

12 And for the merchants that dealt with thee, how Carthage poured her wealth into thy market-place, of silver and iron, of tin and lead! 13 What purveyors of thine were Ionia, Thubal, and Mosoch, with their slaves to sell thee, their urns of bronze; 14 and the men of Thogorma, with horse and horseman and mule! 15 The sons of Dedan were thy pedlars; riches came to thee from the islands far away; ivory and ebony thou couldst win by barter. 16 Syria, too, for the multitude of thy wares, must trade with thee, exposing in thy mart carbuncles, and purple, and embroidery, and lawn, and silk, and rubies. 17 Juda and Israel themselves had their yield to bring thee, fresh wheat and balm and honey and oil and gum for thy stalls. 18 Damascus, for thy many goods, had much to exchange, rare wines and brightly dyed wool; 19 Dan and Ionia and Mosel offered wrought iron for sale, with cassia and calamus supplied thee. 20 Dedan brought thee saddles; 21 Arabia and Cedar’s chieftains were at thy call, driving in lamb and ram and goat for thy purchasing. 22 The merchants of Saba and Reema were thy merchants too, with spices and precious stones and gold to shew in thy fairs; 23 Haran, Chene and Eden, Saba, Assur and Chelmad, none of them but exchanged traffick with thee; 24 and how rich the variety of it, the coverlets of blue, the embroideries, the treasure-caskets wound about with cords, the cedar-wood, all for thy profit![4]

12
Carthaginenses negotiatores tui,
a multitudine cunctarum divitiarum,
argento, ferro, stanno, plumboque
repleverunt nundinas tuas. 13
Græcia, Thubal, et Mosoch, ipsi institores tui:
mancipia, et vasa ærea advexerunt populo tuo. 14
De domo Thogorma, equos, et equites, et mulos
adduxerunt ad forum tuum. 15
Filii Dedan negotiatores tui;
insulæ multæ, negotiatio manus tuæ:
dentes eburneos et hebeninos commutaverunt in pretio tuo. 16
Syrus negotiator tuus propter multitudinem operum tuorum:
gemmam, et purpuram, et scutulata,
et byssum, et sericum, et chodchod
proposuerunt in mercatu tuo. 17
Juda et terra Israël, ipsi institores tui in frumento primo:
balsamum, et mel, et oleum, et resinam
proposuerunt in nundinis tuis. 18
Damascenus negotiator tuus in multitudine operum tuorum,
in multitudine diversarum opum,
in vino pingui, in lanis coloris optimi. 19
Dan, et Græcia, et Mosel,
in nundinis tuis proposuerunt ferrum fabrefactum:
stacte et calamus in negotiatione tua. 20
Dedan institores tui in tapetibus ad sedendum. 21
Arabia et universi principes Cedar,
ipsi negotiatores manus tuæ:
cum agnis, et arietibus, et hædis,
venerunt ad te negotiatores tui. 22
Venditores Saba et Reema, ipsi negotiatores tui:
cum universis primis aromatibus, et lapide pretioso, et auro,
quod proposuerunt in mercatu tuo. 23
Haran, et Chene, et Eden, negotiatores tui;
Saba, Assur, et Chelmad venditores tui. 24
Ipsi negotiatores tui multifariam,
involucris hyacinthi, et polymitorum,
gazarumque pretiosarum,
quæ obvolutæ et astrictæ erant funibus:
cedros quoque habebant in negotiationibus tuis.

25 πλοῖα ἐν αὐτοῖς Καρχηδόνιοι ἔμποροί σου ἐν τῷ πλήθει ἐν τῷ συμμίκτῳ σου καὶ ἐνεπλήσθης καὶ ἐβαρύνθης σφόδρα ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης 26 ἐν ὕδατι πολλῷ ἦγόν σε οἱ κωπηλάται σου τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ νότου συνέτριψέν σε ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης 27 ἦσαν δυνάμεις σου καὶ ὁ μισθός σου καὶ τῶν συμμίκτων σου καὶ οἱ κωπηλάται σου καὶ οἱ κυβερνῆταί σου καὶ οἱ σύμβουλοί σου καὶ οἱ σύμμικτοί σου ἐκ τῶν συμμίκτων σου καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταί σου οἱ ἐν σοὶ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή σου ἐν μέσῳ σου πεσοῦνται ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς πτώσεώς σου 28 πρὸς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς κραυγῆς σου οἱ κυβερνῆταί σου φόβῳ φοβηθήσονται 29 καὶ καταβήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν πλοίων πάντες οἱ κωπηλάται σου καὶ οἱ ἐπιβάται καὶ οἱ πρωρεῖς τῆς θαλάσσης ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν στήσονται 30 καὶ ἀλαλάξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ τῇ φωνῇ αὐτῶν καὶ κεκράξονται πικρὸν καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν γῆν καὶ σποδὸν ὑποστρώσονται 31 32 καὶ λήμψονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ σὲ θρῆνον καὶ θρήνημά σοι 33 πόσον τινὰ εὗρες μισθὸν ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης ἐνέπλησας ἔθνη ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους σου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ συμμίκτου σου ἐπλούτισας πάντας βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς 34 νῦν συνετρίβης ἐν θαλάσσῃ ἐν βάθει ὕδατος ὁ σύμμικτός σου καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή σου ἐν μέσῳ σου ἔπεσον πάντες οἱ κωπηλάται σου 35 πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰς νήσους ἐστύγνασαν ἐπὶ σέ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἐκστάσει ἐξέστησαν καὶ ἐδάκρυσεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν 36 ἔμποροι ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν ἐσύρισάν σε ἀπώλεια ἐγένου καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

25 But the ships, they were thy pedlars in chief; the ocean-going ships, that gave thee thy wealth, gave thee thy sea-environed renown. 26 Alas, that those oarsmen of thine should have ferried thee out into deep waters, for the storm-wind to wreck thee, out in the heart of the sea! 27 All thy wealth and treasure and merchandise, thy mariners and helmsmen, dockyard masters and captains, all the warriors thou hast, and the common folk that dwell in thee, must sink down to the sea’s depths in this day of thy fall. 28 Bewildered, all thy navy, with the helmsmen’s shouts; 29 down come the rowers from their ships, mariner and pilot line the shore. 30 Loud they bewail thee, bitter their cry, as they throw dust on their heads and sprinkle themselves with ashes; 31 heads are shaven, sackcloth is every man’s wear; woeful hearts are all around, and woeful lament. 32 And a sad dirge they shall sing as they mourn over thee: City was none like Tyre, that now lies forgotten in the depths of the sea! 33 Peoples a many thy trafficking supplied; all the kings of the earth were richer for wealth of thine, enterprise of thine; 34 and now the sea has swallowed thee up; buried in the deep waters all the prosperity that was thine, all the citizens that thronged thee. 35 The island peoples, how they stood aghast at thy fall; the island kings, how their faces fell at the news of thy shipwreck! 36 How they hissed in derision, the traders of other nations! Only ruin is left of thee, for ever vanished and gone.

25
Naves maris, principes tui in negotiatione tua:
et repleta es, et glorificata nimis in corde maris. 26

In aquis multis adduxerunt te remiges tui:
ventus auster contrivit te in corde maris. 27
Divitiæ tuæ, et thesauri tui,
et multiplex instrumentum tuum:
nautæ tui et gubernatores tui,
qui tenebant supellectilem tuam,
et populo tuo præerant:
viri quoque bellatores tui, qui erant in te,
cum universa multitudine tua quæ est in medio tui,
cadent in corde maris in die ruinæ tuæ: 28
a sonitu clamoris gubernatorum tuorum conturbabuntur classes. 29
Et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum:
nautæ et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt. 30
Et ejulabunt super te voce magna:
et clamabunt amare,
et superjacient pulverem capitibus suis,
et cinere conspergentur. 31
Et radent super te calvitium,
et accingentur ciliciis:
et plorabunt te in amaritudine animæ, ploratu amarissimo. 32
Et assument super te carmen lugubre,
et plangent te:
Quæ est ut Tyrus, quæ obmutuit in medio maris? 33
Quæ in exitu negotiationum tuarum de mari
implesti populos multos:
in multitudine divitiarum tuarum, et populorum tuorum,
ditasti reges terræ. 34
Nunc contrita es a mari:
in profundis aquarum opes tuæ,
et omnis multitudo tua quæ erat in medio tui, ceciderunt. 35
Universi habitatores insularum obstupuerunt super te,
et reges earum omnes tempestate perculsi mutaverunt vultus. 36
Negotiatores populorum sibilaverunt super te:
ad nihilum deducta es,
et non eris usque in perpetuum.

[1] It seems almost certain that this word stood in the original, but, being rare, was wholly misconstrued. Thus our present Hebrew text speaks of ‘the daughter of Assyria’, the Septuagint Greek of ‘forest-shrine habitations’, and the Latin version of ‘small country-houses’. For ‘western’ the Latin version has ‘Italian’, but this is only a guess; Balearic box-wood is probably meant.

[2] In the Hebrew text ‘to caulk thy leaks’; in the Latin version ‘for the administration of thy varied equipment’.

[3] Who the Gammadim were, is unknown; some think they were the Cappadocians. The Latin version can hardly be right in identifying them with the pygmies.

[4] vv. 12-24. There is considerable uncertainty, all through this section, about the identification of the nations mentioned and their wares. In verse 16 Aram (Syria) is probably a mistake for Edom, which resembles it in Hebrew script; the Edomite caravans would naturally bring eastern goods from the Red Sea. Syria, under the name of Damascus, has a separate mention below. The text at the beginning of verse 19 is almost certainly corrupt.
